Trojan Virus Help Please

Removing temp files is always a good idea in case any trojans are residing in them

Do I treat the Malware like the anti-virus and do daily scans? And will the malware prevent the trojans latching on in the first place?

You really don't need to do an anti-virus scan daily. Any decent AV will pick up on viruses as they try to infect your PC (real-time scanning). If you don't already have Avira installed then use this.

Unless you're downloading dodgey files / torrents / P2P then you don't need to do a malware scan more than once every few months. Malwarebytes free won't stop trojans getting into your system, you'd need the paid version for this.

Thanks am clear on the malware programme now (finished real quick once I deleted the internet files)
My avg free 8.5 let 4 trojans through on 2 different occasions so you can understand my concern.
